If the scenery you are traveling through is getting less and less familiar while out on your bike then it sounds like your starting to take your riding ever more seriously and it is time to start looking at purchasing the appropriate kit for the job.

Say hello to the RT32, Shimano's entry level SPD equipped road touring shoe that is designed for the novice touring rider. This is also a fantastic shoe for the daily commute, built from the bottom up it sports a walkable rubber sole which hides the recessed cleat making walking/dismounting easier for those traffic light or junction moments when unclipping is a dead cert. The specially designed sleek looking full rubber sole with minimum tread helps to keep weight down, yet provides good grip on smooth surfaces. With their stealthy black colourway these shoes will look great whether matched with your work trousers of your bib tights. Supple stretch resistant synthetic leather which works to keep the shoes the same shape as the day you bought them is an ever present feature on all Shimano shoes and these are no exception, supplemented with mesh panels these shoes also work to stop your feet from over heating. Your feet are kept in place by two wrap over velcro straps and internally a structurally flexible insole conforms to a wide variety of foot shapes.

All in all a well equipped beginner touring shoe for the recreational rider or the new commuter and if your both of these you have a shoe that really does have all your bases covered.

Which size shoe do I need?

When choosing your new Shimano shoes we recommend ordering a size up from your normal shoe size as Shimano shoes come up small against normal shoes.

The below size chart is already sized one up for you e.g. if you are normally a UK 8 then order the size 43 Shimano shoe and you'll get the ideal fit.
